La Conditoria - Mini Alpine Nut Cakes ""Nusstörtli". The probably smallest Alpine Nut Cake in the world weighs 19 grams, has a diameter of just 4 centimeters and combines an uncompromising selection of the best natural ingredients.

Finest mountain honey from local production gives the filling of the Alpine Nut Cake its distinctive aromatic taste. The intense and nutty flavor is provided by high quality walnuts, which have to pass strict quality control tests. For our butter short-crust pastry, we exclusively use the finest certified Swiss mountain butter – a true gourmet experience with authentic flavors!

Graubünden's distinctive trademark - The Alpine Nut Cake. One of the most well known exports from Graubünden, if we don’t count the ibex and Heidi, is without a shadow of doubt, the Alpine Nut Cake. The confectioners from Graubünden have enjoyed reputable renown around the world for many decades.

In the 19th century, scores of families from Graubünden had to emigrate. At that time there were also many confectioners among them. They were already particularly well known. They emigrated to Sicily, Venice, even St. Petersburg. Once established there, they reached a well-deserved cult status thanks to their artistic flair for creating sweet temptations.

A few years ago, a journey of discovery began to find out who the true inventors of the Alpine Nut Cake were. Does the Alpine Nut Cake actually come from Graubünden or did it in fact originate in Alsace? That is old news! Because now we are no longer asking where it came from, instead we are asking who makes the smallest Alpine Nut Cake in the world."
